The pin placement on #16 was a joke. It was placed on a severe slope and the ball would go to the edge of the hole putting uphill and then roll down from below where I started.
Some of the tee boxes are almost always pointed to the rough (Holes 2 always, #3, #11, and #17 yesterday). Tee markers should be painted white all over the marker for the white tees, etc. You can't see the color unless you are facing from just one direction.

Best Muni-course greens I’ve played in a while
The course had a few spots in the rough and around the cart paths that were in typical winter shape. However, the fairways and greens were very well manicured. The greens were disease and weed free, rolled firm and fast but true. I found myself fixing several other ball marks from golfers ahead of me in an effort to leave the greens in as good of a shape as I could.

Disappointed
I’ve played this course a few times and it seems to have been neglected by the greenskeeping crew. Although the course is in good playing condition and the course has new carts, we noticed that the overall condition of the course is below the standards of the other Sacramento county courses
